Genesi: 'We Will Release Both AmigaOS4 and MorphOS'

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 25th Jan 2007 12:40 UTC

Genesi has 'announced' it is going to release AmigaOS4 for their EFIKA motherboard as soon as the next release of MorphOS is released. "We have clearly indicated in this thread, we don't need Hyperion's support to port OS4 to the EFIKA - legally or technically." True to the Amiga scene of the last few years, a discussion spanning 300 posts ensued. My take: I actually advocated 'porting' AmigaOS4 to Genesi hardware last year, but I do hope it all happens within the boundaries of the law and that the developers get what they deserve. Update: The latest post asks an interesting question.

Huh? OS4 developers use gcc... Fix any endian issues that may be present and flip the gcc target to x86 and you should be well on your way to x86...
